Thursday, August 5:  FEDERATED TALENT NIGHT

Dreaming of success on American Idol?  We've got the perfect practice stage for you!  The 2nd Annual Federated Talent Show will be Thursday, August 5 at 7:00 pm.  Any talent (or lack of) welcome!  For those whose talent is not performance-based (i.e. painting, sculpture, etc.), we will have a section of the hall dedicated to display.  Sign up at Servant Central today!

Meditation Group Updates

Our October 2 meeting is cancelled.  As an alternative, consider joining the group at St. Thomas Aquinas on the Purdue Campus.  They meet at 5:30 pm on Mondays in the basement.  We think that the group at Chapel of the Good Shepherd does not meet this week.  Our meditation sessions will resume on Monday, October 9.

A primer on meditation groups and how we approach meditation is available here.

A conference on Christian meditation will take place October 1-3 in DesPlaines, IL.  The registration deadline is July 30, but they may extend that if space is available.  Consult this brochure for details and contact information.

Clyde Smith 1922-2010

Long-time member and friend Clyde Smith ventured forth upon the promise of his baptism on Friday, July 23, 2010.  A memorial service was held at the church on Monday, July 26.  The bulletin for that special service of hope and remembrance is available here.

Memorial contributions may be made to Federated Church, 2400 Sycamore Lane, West Lafayette, IN 47906.
